Optimize comfort and functionality across multiple rooms with the Friedrich Vert-I-Pak Vertical Packaged Air System. This innovative system installs discreetly within a mechanical closet, creating a streamlined, quiet, and visually appealing living space while maintaining individual in-room temperature control. Ideal for hotels, extended-stay suites, and residential properties, the Vert-I-Pak offers flexibility and energy efficiency by conditioning multiple zones with minimal noise. Its quiet operation is further enhanced by an insulated closet installation, a sealed wall plenum, and vibration-reducing rubber grommets.

The Friedrich VHA24K Series operates on 208/230 volts, delivering powerful cooling at 21,800 BTUs and heating at 18,500 BTUs via a reverse cycle heat pump. With updated SEER2, EER2, and HSPF2 energy ratings, the Friedrich VTAC systems are designed to meet new AHRI standards for energy efficiency. This model’s base pan heater also allows low-ambient operation down to 17°F, activating a back-up electric heater for optimal heating even in cold climates.

Versatile Installation and Easy Setup

Designed to fit a variety of setups, the Friedrich VTAC only requires a 10" rectangular duct transition and a field-sourced 2x4 platform. This vertical air system offers easy, adaptable installation:

  • Multi-Zone Cooling: Ductable for zone cooling, allowing a single unit to condition multiple rooms.
  • Simple Setup: Pre-wired, pre-charged, and pre-piped, requiring only electrical connection for startup.
  • Pre-Charged Convenience: Packaged with refrigerant for easy setup without additional sealed system work.
  • Ideal for Diverse Applications: Perfect for hotels, assisted living, student housing, and other multi-unit properties with energy management options.
  • Dual Heating Capability: Lower MCA and MOCP ratings due to concurrent compressor and resistance heat operation during defrost cycles.

Choose from a variety of electric backup heater sizes for the Vert-I-Pak. The VHA24K50RTQ includes a 5.0 kW heater requiring a 30 Amp circuit. Additional options include:

Key Features of the Friedrich Vert-I-Pak:

  • Eco-friendly R-410A refrigerant
  • Compact and lightweight design for easy handling
  • Innovative free-floating chassis to minimize vibrations
  • Flexible drain connections (right, left, or rear)
  • Corrosion-resistant interior components for durability
  • Customizable installation on exterior closet walls
  • Ready for remote thermostat control with 24V transformer
  • Built-in safety power disconnect
  • On-unit electronic control panel for simplified diagnostics
  • Compatible with single-stage thermostats (WRT2, RT7, and RT7P) and energy management systems
  • Optional return air grilles (VPRG4) and architectural louvers available in standard aluminum (VPAL2) or custom color (VPSC2)
  • Eliminates the need for multiple PTACs, reducing system clutter
  • Note: A drain pan (VPDP2) is required for new installations.
